San Lorenzo Valley

Last updated: February 14, 2018

The San Lorenzo Valley, also known as SLV, is located to the west of Scotts Valley and follows Highway Nine and the San Lorenzo River. The villages of Felton, Ben Lomond, Brookdale and Boulder Creek are located here, and Lompico and Zayante are nearby to the northeast. These areas are more remote than neighboring Scotts Valley, because the roads that lead to them are smaller and less direct than Highway 17. If you are comfortable with longer drives on windy roads to and from your home, this is a great place to live with more modestly priced housing and beautiful forests, rivers, and wildlife.
